I don't think it's controversial. It just seems like an unnecessary rule to have.

Perhaps a small change while making a thread near the textbox for title tibs could display, "please choose a meaningful title" or other. Just seems completely unnecessary to create a new rule for it and have staff change them. Makes it comes across as less freedom for posters and more control for staff (smaller government, dammit!). I still don't know why this rule was made was there overwhelming complaints about click baity threads? Even if that were the case if you don't like a title then don't click on it.. Even if you did click on it if you don't like it just press the back button.. What's the big deal
